Why the Navy says it wants 15 battleships
A new shipbuilding plan has been proposed by the Navy. This plan includes a significant investment in new surface combatants. The goal is to have a fleet of advanced vessels with capabilities that current ships lack.
The proposal outlines a 30-year timeline for the project. It is still in the early stages and requires approval from various parties. Further information on the proposed plan can be found through the Navy's 2026 shipbuilding plan, which provides more details on the project's scope and timeline.
